MC Brown - Continuent

You may know Continuent Tungsten for our highly advanced MySQL replication tool or for our state-of-the-art MySQL clustering solution, Tungsten Clustering. Our solutions are used by leading SaaS vendors, e-commerce, financial services and telco customers. But there are more, many more, Tungsten deployments out there. Tungsten Replicator is also an Oracle replication solution, the "Oracle GoldenGate without the price tag”. Tungsten Replicator can also be used for real-time data loading into analytics, from MySQL and Oracle into Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Kafka, Redshift and Vertica. And there could be more... How about Tungsten Backup? Using the power of the Tungsten Transaction History Log (THL) , we may create the ultimate continuous backup solution with flexible point-in-time recovery. Would you be interested, especially for free? What about the ultimate proxy, a stand-alone Tungsten Connector? To support our Clustering solution, Continuent has developed one of the most advanced proxies available. Could it be time to unleash our Connector for public use?

As service providers, one of our responsibilities is helping clients understand what causes contributed to a production downtime incident, and how to avoid (as much as possible) them from happening again. We do this with Incident Reports, and one common recommendation we make is to have a historical monitoring system in place. All our clients have point-in-time monitoring solutions in place, solutions that can alert them when a system is down or behaving in unacceptable ways. But historical monitoring is still not common, and we believe a lot of companies can benefit from deploying one of them.

In most cases, we have recommended Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), as a good and Open Source solution for this problem. In this session, we will talk about the reasons why we recommend PMM as a way to prevent incidents, and also to investigate their possible causes when one has happpened.

Today, the world of IOT is still in a primordial stage: several vendors offer ?platforms? hoping to cover all the aspects of IOT projects in an attempt to simplify the flow and management of IOT data.

FogLAMP is the effort of organizations active in IOT, IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) and Fog Computing to provide a fully open source stack operating from the Edge and integrated with other Cloud and Enterprise solutions. FogLAMP?s main objective is to simplify the management of IOT data, whether this data is simply stored and forwarded, or consumed and analyzed at the Edge.

We will talk about what is FogLAMP and how it works. We will explore the pluggable architecture and how the modularity of the product allows developers and architects to build IOT projects. We will also see FogLAMP in action in a demo with sensor data collected from the Edge, analyzed locally and pushed to OSIsoft PI System, used to collect, analyze, visualize time-series data.

Erik Nordström - Timescale

When storing time-series data, many developers start with some well-trusted system like Postgres, but as their data hits a certain scale, give up its query power and ecosystem by migrating to a NoSQL or other "modern" time-series architecture.

In this talk, I describe why this trade-off is unnecessary, and how we've built TimescaleDB, an efficient, scalable time-series database engineered up from Postgres. The nature of time-series workloads--appending data about recent events--presents different demands than transactional (OLTP) workloads. We've architected our time-series database to take advantage of and embrace these differences.

TimescaleDB improves insert rates by 15X over Postgres, even on a single node. By right-sizing chunks, it avoids the "performance cliff" Postgres experiences once reaching table sizes of 50+ million of rows, while offering compelling complex query performance improvements. TimescaleDB is packaged as a Postgres extension, released under the Apache

After this session you'll have had an overview to give you everything you need to get started with Consul, and should have a good understanding of how it can be leveraged in the context of software such as MySQL, ProxySQL, & Prometheus.

This presentation will highlight the new support for SQL window functions in MySQL 8.0: showing how they can be used to simplify and speed up analytical queries. The talk will first give a gentle introduction to basic concepts like partitions, frames and peers, explaining the differences between physical and logical frames. Then we move on to the two kinds of window functions and show their usage: SQL aggregates like COUNT and SUM used as window functions, as well as the dedicated window functions like ROW_NUMBER, NTILE, LEAD and more.

We will also cover some implementation aspects, particularly as they pertain to performance.

MySQL offers all the standard non-aggregate window functions, as well as most of the existing MySQL aggregate functions used as window functions. Window functions have the potential to greatly speed up many kinds of queries, and should be in the repertoire of all SQL developers.

At a blistering pace and for a variety of reasons, companies are migrating their on-premise database infrastructures to cloud-based solutions?to save costs on hardware, tame the impact of disaster recovery or even to improve security. Zalando is not an exception and more than two years ago we migrated our first production services to AWS.

In addition to the fully managed database services like RDS and Aurora, Amazon offers a wide spectra of EC2 instances with different performance and price. Without a lot of experience in running cloud databases it's not easy to make a right choice and as a result you will either have a pure database performance or you will overpay for over-provisioned resources.

In this talk I will explain why we decided to run most of our databases on EC2 Instances instead of RDS, how we chose EC2 Instance types and EBS Volume sizes, which AWS CloudWatch metrics MUST be monitored (and why), what problems we hit and how to avoid them.

Database management systems (DBMSs) are the most important component of any data-intensive application. They can handle large amounts of data and complex workloads. But they're difficult to manage because they have hundreds of configuration "knobs" that control factors such as the amount of memory to use for caches and how often to write data to storage. Organizations often hire experts to help with tuning activities, but experts are prohibitively expensive for many.

In this talk, I will present OtterTune, a new tool that can automatically find good settings for a DBMS?s configuration knobs. OtterTune differs from other DBMS configuration tools because it leverages knowledge gained from tuning previous DBMS deployments to tune new ones. Our evaluation shows that OtterTune recommends configurations that are as good as or better than ones generated by existing tools or a human expert.

MySQL replication has been changing considerably over the years to meet the demands of highly volatile and very dynamic deployments of MySQL technology. The fact is that the MySQL that powered the LAMP stack is now powering the infrastructure of many of the popular cloud solutions out there. A common factor across them is replication, which has been often used for read scale-out. In fact, it has also deployed as the foundation to provision high availability and address disaster recovery when deployed across wide-area networks. Elasticity and redundancy are thus key properties in old as in new deployments.

The new replication features in MySQL 8 continue to match the requirements set in order to address web scale scenarios. All of this without compromising on features that are also important when deploying MySQL on premise or local clouds.
